My car was startign to overheat this weekend at the track. I was screaming the top of 3rd for a while, but I have 2 theories.

1) I have schmeg from my old busted WP somewhere in the system, I am going to dtry and do a flush this weekend.

2) I am overspinning the capacity of the WP and its not flowing.

The car is a 98.5 ARP S3.

Thoghts? Ideas?

High oil temps will also increase your water temps.

I still have my AC and my FMIC is up there too. The oil was getting up to 250 or so. I am going to be adding an oil cooler very soon and flushing the coolant system soon. I hope that takes care of it.
